Industrial engineering handbook in Technology Books

Description:

<P>Simulation modeling is becoming increasingly popular as a technique for evaluating the performance of resource allocation and alternate operating policies. It is a cost-effective method for improving process performance and can be used to evaluate the performance of capital equipment before making an investment. This handbook is a practical, easy-to-follow reference that provides up-to-date knowledge and offers step-by-step procedures for conducting simulation studies that help decision-makers find the optimal courses of action. Unlike most other books on the subject, this presentation is independent of any particular simulation software, allowing readers to use any commercial package or general purpose programming language.</P>

Providing state of the art coverage from more than 40 contributing authors, many of whom are "rising stars" in this area, this volume emphasizes systems engineering aspects and expands beyond the topics found in the existing references in this field. The handbook is a one-stop reference for industrial and systems engineering. It introduces new technologies, offers a systems integration approach, and provides coverage of information engineering.</P>

Description:

Valves are the components in a fluid flow or pressure system that regulate either the flow or the pressure of the fluid. They are used extensively in the process industries, especially petrochemical. Though there are only four basic types of valves, there is an enormous number of different kinds of valves within each category, each one used for a specific purpose. No other book on the market analyzes the use, construction, and selection of valves in such a comprehensive manner.<br><br>-Covers new environmentally-conscious equipment and practices, the most important hot-button issue in the petrochemical industry today<br><br>-Details new generations of valves for offshore projects, the oil industry's fastest-growing segment <br><br>-Includes numerous new products that have never before been written about in the mainstream literature
